Why should i walk 10k steps per day? heard the japanese did
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Useful: Walking 10k steps per day is a very useful exercise. There is a correlation between exercise of that type and longevity. I am not sure if that is the primary reason the japanese have such a long lifespan but perhaps that story is true.
